Well it seems we agreed a deal with Everton, now we need to sort out the rest. Nothing unusual imo, especially since Chelsea can still agree a deal and try to get him
Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms

Donkey? He's one of the most lethal strikers in the league.I can't believe we are actually going to sign this donkey. Feck my life.
It's harder to believe so many fans want us to play a better brand of football but are then giddy to sign this guy.I can't believe we are actually going to sign this donkey. Feck my life.
£75 fecking million?
People hated Rooney's awful touch for the last 5 years - Lukaku's is gonna make people go mental. Not excited for this transfer at all.

That is my concern too, although he is probably one of the best replacements we could have got for Ibra in the current market (haven't seen Morata play so can't comment on him). He is also rapid so would help in building our counter-attacking play. Jose got his first choice on striker and that's the most important thing for now!
I'm delighted with this. He's class.
RVP, Tevez, Berbatov, Alan Smith, Rooney, Saha, Sherringham, Yorke, Cole
It's a classic fergie thing to buy the best Strikers in the Premier League
Even still, do you think any side was signing him for anything much lower than that? Everton always get decent fees and Lukaku is a big name (that they already spent £30million on).

all credible media are on one side.
No one credible is dismissing this and the club obviosuly briefed everyone.
BBC/Ducker/MEN/Norwood all reporting the same thing at the same time.
ITS DONE!
What type of striker is Lukaku? What's his strengths? Is he a striker who gets in the right positions and tap it in or is he more of a distance shooter?
I'm still not convinced could be some sort of tactic to force Chelsea's hand. Lets wait and see what happens
But if they could swap him out for a Mbappe, they almost certainly would.
Yep, always felt Jose was trying to find a 2nd Drogba in Lukaku. Now maybe he's seeing what he wants to see in him to make that happen.
Fair point right there. Beating and drawing with the top sides hasn't been our struggle.
Great news. He will be a monster for us.
Hopefully we sign Morata too.

He might not be a particularly glamorous signing but I don't understand the resistance to us signing Lukaku from a few fans. Granted, he still has a number of inconsistencies in his game but what 23 year old doesn't? His record in this league is pretty amazing, all things considered. He's scored 15 or more league goals in all but 1 of his 5 seasons as a starter in the Premier League.
Might be me but considering Lukaku's age and goal scoring record, the fee is reasonable.
Surprised so many are against this signing. He is pretty much guaranteed 25 goals a season. He has been prolific for West Brom and Everton, he will be prolific for us. And we can't argue with 75m in the current market; young, proven in the league, experienced, guaranteed goals. Good signing.
He seems hungry to prove he's better than Kane too. Nothing wrong with that.
It will be if Morata is mad at them for screwing up his preference.
My thoughts too.
We could sign Messi and people would still complain
That's a big feck you to Real Madrid! I'm sooo happy we didn't bend over for them. Now they have an unsettled Morata to deal with. Somebody else can haggle with them now. And United can slap a cool £100m price tag on De Gea if they want.
Feck 'em!
Feck 'em!
If this does go through then it just illustrates that Jose has added more than management of the squad but clearly his experience and nous in the transfer game in gazumping top clubs has been passed onto Woodward.
It's not. Craig Norwood is our official photographer and doesn't post anything unless it's legit.
That one was totally out of the blue. I think the last time I woke up to something like this was the day we had bids accepted for Nani and Anderson.
Very happy with this news. Huge transfer fee but he guarantees goals and I truly believe he'll be worth every penny.

I ignore all the doom mongers when the player hasn't even set foot on the pitch yet. There isn't a player in the world that wouldn't split the Caf apart from perhaps Messi......and even then.......!!
So are madrid barcelona city psg and chelsea.
To be fair his best years are almost certainly behind him. And he's too small to cut it in the PL.
No he's not.
Madrid 
Gotta feel sorry for Morata though, he cut his honeymoon short and everything

It also means we don't directly fund their potential Mbappe deal. Which makes me feel a bit better.
I'm sure a less than perfect first touch is more palatable when the player in question is also supplying 20 plus odd league goals.
They'll still be putting Fellaini in their starting XI too.
He's not our official photographer. He's very reliable but not employed by Man Utd.
I hope this includes rooney going the other way
Now Sky saying that Everton are saying there has no deal been done yet.
But what about Jim White and the Mirror?
SSN just picked up the 'Everton say no deal' story
They are as desperate as us?
